How do I submit an Interlibrary Loan request?
Several options are available for submitting a request.
- In person: Request forms are available at the Library. Staff are available to provide assistance and discuss services. During evening and weekend hours, completed request forms may be submitted to the Circulation Desk.
- By email: You may email your request to Muhamad Hafiz Morad (mhafiz@oum.edu.my).
When submitting any Interlibrary Loan request, please provide as much information as possible (title of the book, author, publisher and year of publication, edition, etc.). If you know where the book is located, that would fasten the process.
